Abstract
The present invention provides a phenylpyruvate reductase for efficiently obtaining highly pure, optically active 3-phenyllactate and 4-hydroxyphenyllactate; a gene coding for the same; and a method for manufacturing optically active 3-phenyllactate and 4-hydroxyphenyllactate employing the same.
Claims8
A method of producing D phenyllactate or D-4-hydroxyphenyllactate, comprising
- transforming a microoganism with a recombinant vector containing
- a complementary polynucleotide coding for an amino acid sequence having at least 90% identity to an amino acid sequence shown by SEQ ID NO:
- 4,
- culturing the transformed microorganism with a substrate, and
- recovering D-phenyllactate or D-4-hydroxyphenyllactate from a microorganism culture.
